Question

In the presence of a magnetic field in cyclotron, an ion is introduced at the center and is accelerated in an expanding _____ path by use of alternating electric fields.
A) ​sinusoidal
B) ​spiral
C) ​linear
D) ​Hamilton
E) ​Euler

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnetic field causes the ion to move in a circular path, and the alternating electric fields cause the path to expand in a spiral pattern.
